British armoured regiments were delighted to receive the new American-made M3 Grant tank, which gave them a tank with a gun as good as those on the German panzers, with armour to match. Rushed into service to meet the urgent need for a heavy 75mm-armed tank it took the Germans by surprise. Its thick armour and powerful 75mm gun are superior to most of the German panzers.

includes five plastic Crusader tanks, one plastic Tank Commander sprue, one Decal sheets and five Unit cards.

The light squadrons of the armoured regiments embody the dash and daring of the British cavalry. Fast and manoeuvrable but not as heavily armoured as the enemy panzers, they use speed and cover to protect themselves. They are often relegated to scouting or protecting the flanks of the regiment while their heavy cousins, the Grants, take the fight to the enemy.

Includes five plastic Cromwell tanks, one plastic British tank commander sprue and one decal sheet.

The Cromwell was the product of further development of British cruiser tanks designed to replace the Crusader, which had proved to be under armoured and mechanically unreliable during the fighting in North Africa.

The Cruiser Tank (A34) Comet was the pinnacle of British cruiser tank development, following on from the Cruiser Mk VIII (A27) Cromwell. With its powerful 600hp Rolls-Royce Meteor engine, the Comet retained the Cromwell´s speed, but with improved armour protection. Its powerful 77mm gun was a match for all but the heaviest enemy tanks.

includes six plastic British Infantry sprues, five Small three-hole bases, six Small two-hole bases, eighteen Medium five-hole stands, & five Base plug sprues.

The PBI (‘Poor Bloody Infantry’) are the solid bricks of the army. The infanteers can always be relied on to get the job done. Even when the armoured troops stall, the infantry push on, clearing the way ahead.

During 1942-43 the standard size of an armoured troop (platoon) was three tanks and had served the British well. However, it became clearer as the war progressed that the standard 75mm gun of the Sherman would not be powerful enough to deal with the ever increasing amounts of armour the German were applying to their tanks.

The Landing Vehicle Tracked or LVT was a amphibious landing craft that first saw service during World War Two with the several different branches of the United States military. The LVT begun life as a transport vehicle originally intended to bring supplies ashore, however, its potential as an amphibious assault vehicle were quickly realised.
